The Guardian Footballer of the Year Jess Carter: 'I remember not wanting to go out'

๐Ÿค— I think its so brave of Jess Carter to share her experience, #BreakTheSilence is a great message here! ๐ŸŒŸ I mean, we've all been there, scrolling through our feeds and seeing those nasty comments, it's like a punch to the gut ๐Ÿ’”. But what's even more inspiring is how she found support in her team and manager Sarina Wiegman, that's what squad goals are made of! ๐Ÿค It just goes to show that we don't have to face these struggles alone #TeamWorkMatters.

And I'm totally with Jess on this one, the pressure on black players is REAL ๐Ÿ’ฏ. We need to recognize that racism and scrutiny go beyond the football pitch, its a systemic issue that needs to be addressed. Let's create a more inclusive environment for everyone, especially our black female athletes who deserve nothing but support and respect #JusticeForJess.

But what really gets me is how she found her confidence back on the field, especially in that final match against Spain ๐Ÿ†. It's like, all those doubts and fears just melted away, and she was unstoppable! We can all learn from Jess's journey, it's a reminder to take care of ourselves, surround ourselves with good people, and trust our abilities #BelieveInTheGirl.
 
OMG, I'm so glad Jess Carter is speaking out about her experience ๐Ÿ™Œ! It's crazy to think she was going through that kind of stuff and feeling isolated ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. But it's amazing how sharing her story with her team helped her find support ๐Ÿ’•. I mean, Sarina Wiegman is like a rockstar for her ๐Ÿคฉ. And yeah, the pressure on black players is real ๐Ÿ’ฏ... it's not fair that they're expected to be superhuman and deal with so much scrutiny ๐Ÿ˜ฉ.

It's cool that Carter found confidence in herself after some matches ๐ŸŒŸ... she was like, "Hey, I got this!" ๐Ÿ’ช. And can we talk about how important it is for players (and fans!) to call out racism when they see it? ๐Ÿšซ It's not just about Jess, but all the black players who are going through similar experiences ๐Ÿ‘.

I love that Carter's story is highlighting the importance of support and self-awareness ๐Ÿ’–... we need more of that in football (and life in general!) ๐Ÿค—. And btw, England winning that final game was SICK ๐Ÿ”ฅ!
